We would love to have you stay at our home. It is close to family-friendly activities, the airport, and the 3 largest cities in MA. Approximately one hour from both Logan International and Bradley International Airports. Also 5 minutes from Old Sturbridge Village and the Brimfield Antique and Collectibles Show. You’ll love it here because of the coziness, the location, and the serenity. It would be for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families (with kids).

The space would best be described as an in-law unit. It is essentially 3 rooms with the bedroom and then the living room and kitchenette. It also includes a private bathroom with shower. The bed is full size bed but should having to sleep separately be an issue, your guest can accommodate a fouton in the living room. This walk-out basement "apartment" is conveniently stocked with the simple things to make your stay more enjoyable. A microwave, mini-fridge and coffee pot will help with additional food meals not provided by us (you will love our complimentary breakfast). We have awesome restaurants in Sturbridge but it is nice to have the ability to make extra snacks,store drinks etc. The private bathroom is just a few steps away on the same level. It also has a private patio should you like to sit outside. This would be a nice place to smoke if you happen to be a smoker.

We live in a development but here in Brimfield we have an acre and a half minimum requirement for building homes so we have plenty of privacy. In addition this neighborhood is made up of colonial reproductions so is quite unique.

My second nice stay. Relaxing and convenient to the business I visit. Great people, great breakfasts.

Our experience at Rom & Nicole's place was the stuff of fairytales. Yes, all of the basics were covered: cleanliness, attentiveness, communication, privacy, etc. BUT, the magic here is the property. Their house is not far from civilization and yet nestled completely in the wilderness. They have chickens, goats and an elusive rabbit on the premises. They cooked us a breakfast worthy of kings; eggs from their chickens, bacon from pigs that they raised (!!), etc etc. And the hosts themselves were just as whimsical. (Nicole is a professional clown? Amazing.) We'll be staying with them again, undoubtedly.

Travis2017-03-05T00:00:00Z

Highly recommend staying at this amazing place. Was wonderful having our own private suite. Great breakfast and certainly enjoyed the conversations we had with Rom and Nicole. We would certainly stay here again

Troy2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

Nicole and Rom have a large garden apartment available to guests. Slider to patio. Separate bedroom. Super comfy chairs. Loved the chickens that followed us around! Our hosts were so flexible in giving us breakfast after we changed our mind about needing it. Thanks!

Jean2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

I was in town for the Brimfield Antique show and this location was ideal. There is a back road route that Rom provided and it worked out great. Unfortunately because of my schedule, I did not get to spend time with Nicole and Rom until the morning of my last day. They are both very engaging and clearly enjoy meeting their guests. Our conversation was to short, because of our other obligations, but you could tell that there were many stories and topics that we had a common interest and appreciation for. Their home is in a very tranquil woodland setting, and the guest apartment is private and comfortable. They offer a complete breakfast which includes fresh eggs from their own chickens. I regret not having the time to try it this trip. They will be my first choice to stay with when I return in July. I am looking forward to having eggs from the chickens that I met this time, and more time for conversations with the gracious hosts!

R Wayne2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

Clean, private and inviting place! Nicole and Rom were welcoming and entertaining. Rom is quite a cook. My basement suite was clean and private. It included a sitting room with TV, microwave oven, bedroom and bath. Nicole even stocked snacks and my favorite beverages. All in all, a great experience.

Tony2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

Nicole and Rom were fantastic hosts! Their home is located in a very beautiful area that is only an hour from the Greater Boston area, yet feels like a world away. The road leading up to their place passed a scenic point of Long Pond, and their property has a mini farm with goats and chickens. There was a private entrance for us, a lovely bedroom, nice TV room with fridge, microwave and Keurig machine, and a spacious and clean bathroom. Rom made us a spectacular breakfast and told us some great stories about living in the area and suggested things to do. We highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a place to relax. We hope to visit again ourselves.

Parizad2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

It was such a great place to stay with down to earth hosts! We went for Brimfield Antique Show and the location was perfect. We were able to use back roads to avoid the traffic and could come back and relax after each day. Nicole and Rom were awesome and so accommodating. Thanks again for the help, recommendations and just for being very cool people!

Little Alum Pond is a quiet, completely spring fed lake. We are very proud of how clean our water is and have an active lake association dedicated to keeping the lake pristine.

This is the second time we have stayed at this property and we enjoyed it just as much as we did the first time. The kids LOVED getting in the lake and riding around on the peddle boat and the fishing boat. The place was very clean and looked great. Shannon knew we were getting in very late and asked if there was anything she could have ready for us--thank you for the gallon of milk! Our kids asked for it first thing in the morning. And thank you for the extra treats too!

Perfect place on quiet lake with great swimming yet close to Sturbridge and surrounding amenities.

Pamela2017-08-08T00:00:00Z

Tom & Shannon's home was a wonderful respite for our family. We were able to kick back and enjoy the swimming, boating and barbecuing. Their outside space was great for the various outdoor games we brought. We set up corn hole toss, large jenga, etc. Even when it was humid outside the breeze coming off the water was refreshing. Tom & Shannon's home had everything you could possibly need and they were always more than accommodating. We highly recommend their place.

Madeline2017-08-24T00:00:00Z

I chose this place because it's located between Boston where we wanted to spend a couple of days and college that we had to visit as well; also price was good for number of beds and bedrooms we needed, and the dog was welcome. When we arrived, I found a lot of bonuses which were not actually on my list of priorities. Amazingly beautiful lake - and view from the windows; every single detail was taken care of - from salt, sugar, coffee, oil... to the dog bed, additional towels to clean the dog's paws; unlocked door so we wouldn't have to struggle with a box in darkness - the hostess sent us several texts with some details. And as a "final bonus" we were allowed to stay some extra time, without extra charge. Thank you!

Kimberly is fantastic! I went up to Brimfield for the Antique Show this past weekend. I booked her gorgeous home last minute and it was a complete blessing! I arrived at 8pm and she had dinner on the stove, a pumpkin pie in the oven and was kind enough to feed me. She is a wildly talented interior decorator and it definitely shows in her house, I felt right at home. The house is located on a quiet street but very centrally located in Brimfield. I woke up to a full continental breakfast every morning and lots of snacks for me to take along for my long day of thrifting. Kimberly is present on the premises but very respectful of privacy. She is incredibly warm and hospitable! We ended up drinking tea all night and chatting. I couldn't recommend this place any higher.

Lauren2017-09-05T00:00:00Z

Kimberly is a great host with a beautiful property. Her communication was quick and helpful, she was flexible with check in and check out, and made herself available for any questions I had. The house is very comfortable, with a big spacious common area and kitchen, front and back porches, garden/yard, and great views. The room was cozy and well appointed, and the bathroom very clean. Kimberly put out a fantastic spread for breakfast, and left the pantry full of snacks I could help myself to. She was fun to chat with, but not invasive of my privacy at all. Overall, I had a great weekend in the woods, and coming back to her place for a bit of r and r and luxury at the end of each day was a treat! We will be back for sure.

Spacious Farmhouse walking distance to Treehouse brewery , Westview creamery and walking trails at Conant Dam . This country home is 4 miles from Brimfield Antique show. Quiet setting near Sturbridge Ma and local stores. Beautiful sunset with mountain views.

Spacious! Check out the dam nearby for a beautiful walk or run.

Jordana2017-09-02T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Sheila's lovely farmhouse while doing the Brimfield antiques fair. The house is large, bright and well equipped. The property is lovely and quiet. It was a welcome respite and we can highly recommend her home for others.

Karen2017-09-06T00:00:00Z

Nice place for the family and group of friend. Exactly as at pictures. Would definitely recommend for everybody.

Sheila's house was an amazing location for my family and brothers that came from overseas. Not only did she provide our family with the very best necessities, but her communication throughout our stay and her hospitality made my family who traveled all the way from India, feel at home. I would definitely recommend her location for anyone who wants a pleasurable experience with an extraordinary view in a well kept house. The property was extremely clean and the furniture and beds were immaculate. Very spacious and luxurious rooms that were able to accommodate my family's privacy. We could not have had a more peaceful and quality time spent in Western Mass than at this location. Thank you again Sheila!

Cozy hill side house with a great location, great view of lake especially in Fall/Winter. Small bedrooms and galley kitchen with utensils, cookware, appliances, sheets and towels provided. Enjoy the evening quiet, TV has DVD player, and wide selection of DVDs to watch. WiFi and cable are not provided (the cabin strives to allow you to unwind in quiet, enjoy nature and reconnect without being connected).

equal parts year round dwellings and seasonal cottages, the area is typical developed recreational lake setting: close house proximity but very quiet. Close to Bigelow Hollow State Park, Union CT for hiking/boating
or fishing in addition to fishing at Hamilton Reservoir

Charming and cozy place with fire pit and lake view

The home was very cozy and very clean. The host was responsive and went out of his way to provide directions to the Brimfield fair and provide breakfast for us. The fridge was stocked with filtered water and cold bottles of water. The view of the lake was nice and we even had access to a canoe if we wanted. I would recommend this property.

Rebecca2016-05-12T00:00:00Z

Comfy cabin in a spectacular location We arrived late at night and were pleased to find coffee and snacks supplied by the host. Beds were amazing and the DVD offering was eclectic and entertaining. Strongly recommend!

Deadra2016-10-24T00:00:00Z

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable weekend at the lake huts Dominic, housing and utility maintenance is also very good, if there is a chance we will visit here again!

Fantastic retreat. We stayed here for 4 nights during Brimfield week which worked really well. We were able to chill out after early rises. Can recommend the chowder at The Maine Attraction and pizza good at the Italian few mins down the road. Will be back!

The cottage was absolutely magical. It was the perfect escape from busy city life. The kayaks and canoes were perfect and the lake was gorgeous. Great for swimming and boating! The porch was also super great - we spent a lot of time out there barbecuing and hanging out. The cottage was even prettier than the pictures show and had everything we could possibly need. Catherine was so nice and accommodating and gave us a great hike recommendation that was totally beautiful! Thanks for a great weekend Catherine and Leif!

Maya2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

This little cottage is so charming! It retains its 40s design but is updated for today. The addition (sleeping porch) is perfect: beds are good, it's quiet, and you can either let in the night air or use the combo A/C-heat unit (there's another one in the living room). The place is very very well equipped with everything you might need, and your hosts will make sure you get anything else you require. Highly recommend.

Eleanor2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

We were met with a great welcome from Catherine, she was incredibly accommodating at every turn and it was a very memorable experience! She gave us a great itinerary of places to see and things to do which was a great help to us! Would love to come again, thank you both for all your help!

Mina2016-10-20T00:00:00Z

The cottage was everything it claimed to be. Catherine and Leif are great hosts and we appreciated all the extra special touches that made our stay that much more enjoyable.

A very quaint and cozy cottage situated near all of our needs. A few minutes from Brimfield and close to Sturbridge for some great dining. Cathy was a joy to speak with and gave us great tips for enjoying our time here. Look forward to staying here again when we come back! P.S. The outside shower was amazing!

She left us plenty of supplies milk, bread home made delicious brownies, eggs and fresh fruit. She had a wealth of knowledge of the local area advising us of local walks etc and was only a plone call away. Very close to Brimfield antique fair, without the massive issues associated with Brimfield Sturgridge route. Thanks Cathy for you wonderfull hospitality. Kathy

The accommodations at the carriage house are excellent! The place was immaculate and the breakfast plentiful and delicious. The price is also very reasonable for what is provided and the lake nearby is beautiful. I would certainly highly recommend.

Grant2016-08-19T00:00:00Z

We had a fabulous time at the Carriage House! It's a lovely space with a nice view of the lake, and Cathy made sure we were comfortable and had our favorite breakfast foods. I was traveling with two work friends and it was a wonderful space to hang out and chat late into the night. The beds were very comfortable and the shower really nice. A great, relaxing, quiet space to hang with friends/family!

Kim2016-10-13T00:00:00Z

Fantastic experience. It's a great house and Cathy was a warm, thoughtful host. I'd gladly stay there again.

Drew2015-11-08T00:00:00Z

The place is wonderful! spacious, secluded from the rest of the property, nice, clean, recently renovated (or at least looks like it). Our stay was fabulous! My wife and I (and our 2 month old son) had such a relaxing weekend, we will want to come back next year for sure. Oh also we were greeted by Cathy who is such a nice person! She baked zucchini bread, home made scone, muffins, bagels, jam....we were treated like royalty :) Thank you so much Cathy and Ernie!

Fred & Shara2016-08-22T00:00:00Z

Cathy and Ernie are wonderful hosts. They have thought of everything. Too many extra thoughtful touches to mention. This was our second stay and we are already looking forward to our next visit. Many thanks for another perfect night at "The Carriage House."

Tom2016-11-19T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely time staying here at C and E's place! Directions were perfect, Cathy was incredibly communicative and helpful throughout the stay, the house was tidy and well stocked, the setting was lovely -- it couldn't have been a nicer place to be. Thanks for having us!

Leah was really easy to communicate and her house was perfectly clean, with all the amenities (bbq, nice bedroom and living room, and a wonderful patio in front of the lake). We really enjoy taking our breakfast with this wonderful view. Just one thing which surprised us was the noise from this highway, which is really close to the house. Hopefully, you get used to. Thank you Leah for this really nice time in your house.

gwendoline2017-07-03T00:00:00Z

The house was the perfect size for us. Our son loved the second TV in the bedroom so he could watch what he wanted on TV at night. Leah had towels if you needed and linens were provided which was really nice. The kitchen is small, but had everything we needed, including a Kurig machine. The water a really clean in the pond, but a little mucky on the bottom, but that is what happens in a lake or pond. Overall great stay and will probably book again.

Erica2017-06-24T00:00:00Z

You will be nestled in a full size bed with central air and heat as well as a very spacious room. The room is extremely large and can fit an additional air mattress as well. Please be advised that this is a working farm with many animals and family members

This was the 2nd year in a row we stayed with Robin & her family during our annual Brimfield trip. As usual, they were very welcoming, providing us with a comfortable room and lots of loveable farm animals outside to us to have our morning coffee with.

Our family enjoyed a fun and interesting farm experience when we stayed overnight with Robin. Her home is way out in the country and up a steep hill and it has a great view. Shortly after arriving we left the front door ajar while carting in our things. When I came downstairs to go back outside I saw Onyx the baby goat & his buddy walking around in the foyer! I laughed and shooed them out. It was a "Green Acres" moment! The next morning we took turns milking her goat & took lots of pictures! She has chickens and ducks too, and we watched as she collected the eggs. We all agreed that our experience was way better than staying in a hotel!

Eileen2015-06-14T00:00:00Z

Thank you for hosting us! You made us feel very welcome, and appreciate your flexibility with our late arrival. :). Plus, two of the cutest and friendliest pets I have ever met!

Jessie2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

Robin and her family very hospitable and friendly, making us feel welcome but also giving us privacy. Their lovely home was a perfect, quite retreat from the city as we attended the antique show-- which was VERY closeby! We hope to return next summer and stay with them again :) pluses also include an adorable dog named Max and sweet goats.

We are just minutes from the Mass Pike & Route 84 in rural Brookfield near historic Old Sturbridge Village, multiple apple orchards and lots of antique venues. If you want a getaway spot to relax or a place to stop while in route this place is perfect.

Living Room Couch (Sleeps 1, you may bring your own air mattress)
Bathroom 1 (Shower)

The apartment was built as an in-law suite and is attached to the main house. The owners live in the main house which was built with stone from the property in 1964. It's a beautiful rural setting close to shops and restaurants and yet just as close to orchards and ponds.

We have lived in this house for over 25 years. We have raised our boys here so it's definitely home. We love the small town atmosphere and being part of the community. Someone described the area as being in the middle of 'no where' with people.

Super happy with it--everything just as expected based on description, photos, reviews. Terri was quick to reply in advance and when we arrived, Dean was incredibly warm and helpful. For us it was a really fun, quick trip from the Boston area to a relaxing evening getaway!

Jon2016-02-16T00:00:00Z

Hosts made us feel very welcome and were great with communication. Stayed her on our way up to Portland, ME and it was a nice spot to lay our heads for the evening. Very clean and very big kitchen/living room area. Shower worked well and the bed was comfortable.

Those photos can't do the justice for this place as it is super great. Nice, clean and cozy and it makes me feel like home. Though it is not in the center of Brookfield but just few minutes drive, there are restaurants, shopping center and of course, Old Sturbridge village. I will definitely stay here again

Natcha2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

Great last minute short stay. We were only there to sleep and shower, so did not get to take advantage of the kitchen or living room. Terri's rental was immaculate.

Terri and Dean were the perfect hosts - so helpful and welcoming! The apartment matches the description to a T - charming and truly immaculate - not to mention cozy, comfy, and modern. We felt so at home during the two nights we spent there. The location makes it an ideal base for exploring the area - far enough from the center of town so you have a quiet place to return to in the evening, but still close to major attractions and the highway. And there are beautiful orchards, farms, and country roads galore! Given the chance, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

This rustic lakefront cottage has beautiful views of the Big Alum Lake, a full kitchen, comfy living room, and plenty of space for the whole family. Make summer memories that will last a lifetime in our family's lake house.
Big Alum Lake is spring-fed and offers great swimming, boating, and fishing (URL HIDDEN) And it's just ten minutes to historic OSV (Old Sturbridge Village), great dining, antique and quaint New England shops, and all necessities.

The house sleeps up to eight people. One bedroom features one queen bed and one full bed. The second bedroom has a bunk bed and two twin beds (perfect for the kids or big families!). The house has a bathroom with a stand-up shower.
A galley kitchen features a sink, gas stove and oven, a microwave, and a full refrigerator. The kitchen leads into a dining area and living room with big, comfortable couches, rocking chairs, and picturesque views of the tranquil Big Alum lake.
Their is a landline telephone, cable TV, and WiFi, all provided by Spectrum.
There is no air conditioning. But there are lots of windows and the cottage is usually cool and comfortable.
There is no heat of any kind in the cottage. It can be rented into the fall, but understand that the nights will be chilly and blankets will be needed. If you are the camping type, fall nights in this cottage are great!
Outside, a dock and lake-front yard provide a great place to lounge in the sun or shade, and steps into the lake allow the whole family to wade or swim in shallow water by the shore, or easily go out deeper.
Well behaved family dogs are welcome!

The Big Alum Lake is a charming and quiet "great pond" with many families along its shores. During the day, you can expect some jet skis and motor boats, but for the most part, people on the lake use kayaks and canoes. You can expect boaters to greet you with a smile and wave as they go by, and neighbors welcome as much or as little interactions as you'd prefer. If you're lucky, you might even spot the the lake's sea plane as it takes off and lands on the water.
There is a great orchard and brewery just a ten minute walk down the road. The facility has farm animals to visit and a disc golf course.

Big Alum has the cleanest, clearest water for swimming/water sports in the area. The cottage easily sleeps 8 and has great parking. Also a nice easy grade to the water (no steep incline). Be sure to bring in your own water for drinking/cooking as the water in the sinks/shower comes directly from the lake. There is no air conditioning; on hot days better to cook outside. Also good to bring mosquito spray - to be expected there are a lot of mosquitoes at night. If you are good swimmers, swim down to the yellow buoy to the right. There is a big rock under water there that kids like to stand on. Two food recommendations: Howard's for ice cream and Dresser Hill (Clam Box) for seafood and ice cream!

Perfect little cottage on one of my favorite lakes. Plenty of room for family and friends to come over and BBQ. It also has a doc for the boat. We would definitely stay here again.

Dana2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

Nice old house just few steps to lake. Quite and lovely place. Clear water in lake and fresh air in forest this is what you need for swimming, fishing and complete relax. House is close to main highway, Walmart, Stop and Shop, plenty small café and restaurants just 5 min to drive. We realy enjoed this 7 days of vacation (better to have 10 days). Possible will rent this place again later on.

I cant say enough good things about this lake house. We are a family of 6 (plus 1 dog) and we had a blast. The worst part of our stay was that it was too short. The house was rustic, but very comfortable with plenty of rooms and beds for us. The beds were comfortable and the couches were too. The lake is pristine, CRYSTAL CLEAR and great for fishing and swimming. Probably the nicest lake I have ever been in. Neighbors were friendly, always returning a smile or a wave. Local restaurants were good and the brewery down the street was great. We picked this house for its location, pet friendly attitude and price. All together it was a GREAT value and we had an amazing time. The goal of our stay was to relax, fish and swim. For three full days that is all we did and everyone was sad to go home. Awesome place and Susan was very, very easy to deal with. I would absolutely come back and would book more days.

keith2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

The cottage is lovely. The lake is beautiful. Sue communicated well and went out of her way to make our stay comfortable.

Jo2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

Our family loved this little cozy lake house. It was perfect and affordable enough for a quick getaway from the daily grind. There are plenty of beds to invite close friends or family to join. We appreciated Sue's great communication and information given ahead of time. It is a basic enough lake house to be more comfortable than camping but not too fancy to be overwhelming for traveling with children. The children (ages 4-7) were thrilled and enjoyed their stay immensely. Thanks, Sue!

Sandra has a pretty house and yard. The bedroom was quite nice. Her office is next to the bedroom, the kitchen is off of that, and the bathroom is beyond that. We were a little disappointed that the bed wasn't ready for us when we got there at 6:00, but she said she thought we were going out to dinner. We didn't really mind making it ourselves. She had gone out to buy me an iron, which I appreciated, but I couldn't find a hair dryer. There's a lot of personal stuff still in the drawers and closet, which might bother some people. The bed itself was comfortable. We were able to walk to a Japanese restaurant, which was convenient. When I asked her for towels, she put some out. I think Sandra is new to this and we wish her luck.

Gwen2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

The room was as described. Sandra was a great host! We enjoyed talking to her and her recommendations were spot on. We were 10 minutes from the flea market and many restaurants. The location is great! The house is clean and cozy and I highly recommend it! Thanks Sandra for everything!

The Cozy Cabin is located in the Sturbridge RV Resort. Tucked away in the trees, this cabin offers your basic amenities such as a full kitchen & bathroom, 1 full bed & bunk beds, sofa-bed/trundle, a family room, deck, grill, and picnic table. A private trail behind the cabin leads you right to the resorts amenities, which include a lake for canoeing and kayaking, pool, Jacuzzi, arcade room, mini golf, and so much more. See website for more details.

The Cabin is small but comfortable. It's the last house on the trail so you get some more privacy than the other houses.

You will immidiately notice how everyone in the campground is so welcoming and quick to lend a hand if you need anything. It's a community of great people who enjoy the outdoors and fellowship.

Edwan's place is just as he described it. Small but clean, cozy and comfortable. It's a great place for a couple or small family, and will even sleep six or so- but there's not much room for that many people to move around, so it'd just be a great "base" for a group of people looking to spend their time outside exploring the area. There is not a ton of room to move around in the bedrooms, but we slept comfortably. The cabin is in a RV/cabin campground, so there are neighboring cabins close by, and parking can be a little tight- we squeezed two vehicles in, front to back (so one was blocked in). We stayed there while setting up at the Brimfield antique show, so it was perfect for us- and just 20 minutes away. We try to keep our costs low when traveling for work, so we had a friend join us and split the cost, which worked out well. Edwan communicated well throughout the experience and was very responsive and helpful. I definitely would recommend him and his place to anyone, and I hope to return when we're back in the area!

Darrick2017-09-06T00:00:00Z

Perfect weekend stay at the cozy cabin! We wanted a low key camping experience without the tent but with the cozy cabin we got a 5 star stay amongst the woods. The cabin is newly renovated on the inside and has everything you could need, then stepping outside there is a wonderful deck, BBQ and fire pit for the camping experience. Edwan was a great host and ensured we had more than we could need. Definitely will be coming back! Thank you!!

Roberto 2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

We had a nice, short stay at Ewan's cabin. It's a lovely little spot that is very clean and cozy. The resort area isn't the best but the cabin was in a quiet secluded area and we felt like we had a good amount of privacy. Perfect spot for a little get away. Edwan was very accommodating and helpful throughout our stay.

Amanda2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

Edwans cabin was amazing. It was just what we needed. It was beautifully decorated, kitchen is fully equipped. The cable tv was a plus for our little ones. I wish I could have had the chance to enjoy the amenities but I will definitely be back. It was our time in a campground and it was a great experience. Edwan was so helpful upon arrival. Thank you I highly recommend this place.

Rafael2017-08-31T00:00:00Z

Kimberly and her home were wonderful! We felt completely relaxed and at home while staying there. Kimberly treated us as if we were part of the family and made sure we had everything we needed and more. The house was immaculate and perfectly decorated and it was only a few miles from the Brimfield Antique Market (and Kimberly gave us some great insider information!) Would definitely recommend her home to anyone wanting to be close to Brimfield market or anyone just looking for a great place to relax and unwind.

Kevin2017-09-07T00:00:00Z

This is a beautiful home with a great amount of thought put into creating a lovely guest experience. It exceeds anything you can discern from photos online. Incredible decor, charm, and comfort. Highly recommend!

My place is great for a quiet getaway. Safe for children off the main road with 3 wooded acres of land. Great for hiking, with a lake less than a half mile away. This home is an hour from Boston, Hartford, and The Berkshires. It is 15 minutes from Sturbrigde, which is a great place for shops, antiques and restaurants.

Outstanding in everyway.Host was extremely accomadating and helpful in every way...5 stars all the way for Sandra.

robert2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

My friends and I chose this place because it was secluded and quiet. Neighbors aren't too close but it was also pretty easy to get to. The home is a beautiful log cabin that looks just like the pictures. The home was very clean and Sandra left us condiments to use as well as a lovely blueberry bunt cake! If you're looking for a weekend away from the city and noise, this is the perfect place!

Virginia2017-07-03T00:00:00Z

WOW !! We absolutely loved this cozy cabin in the woods, like other reviews the pictures don't do this house justice. The space was spectacular in every way. Right from the minute we drove up and opened the door we knew that it would be hard to leave ! It was cozy, and clean plus the serene location can not be beat ! We felt cocooned by the surrounding woods and the wrap around deck provided a much needed connection with nature. The home was equipped with everything needed for a relaxing vacation but mostly we enjoyed the homey feel and family photos. We are so grateful to our host for sharing this beautiful place and can tell how much she loves it too ! Sandra is by far the sweetest host we have ever had ! We texted back and forth all the way up until she knew we were settled in comfortably and then she respected our privacy ( actually missed talking with her and hope we will be able to meet next time ! ) To us Sandra and her cozy cabin in the woods is what AIRBNB is all about. A beautiful spot to spend time at that is affordable with a great host. What more could we ask for ? Simply perfect... Thank you Sandy , We will be back soon.

Great stay! Cabin is beautiful with nice privacy from surrounding woods. Sandy was awesome, best AirBNB host we've had.

Brandon2017-06-27T00:00:00Z

Truly a log cabin, with wooden character throughout the place giving it a distinct charm. All the areas are super clean, and up-to date. It's secluded but not too far from neighbors or the towns so it's a perfect middle ground- quiet and peaceful!

Enjoy the quiet and comfort of a beautiful lakeside community in this two bedroom cottage. Beautifully decorated and completely comfy - this is the spot for you to relax all your troubles away. Happy host will help with anything you might need. 15 minute drive to Brimfield market or to Old Sturbridge Village.

Beautifully situated lake cottage just a 3 minute walk to the private beach. Kayak and canoe available upon request for an extra fee. 2 bedrooms with a 3rd private bedroom separate from the house also available. King size bed in the main bedroom. Twin beds in the second and third rooms. Couch can sleep one. I also have a queen size blow up mattress upon request.

Gorgeous lake neighborhood.

Alice’s place was a perfect stop-over for us on a long drive from Maine - cozy, well-equipped, and near a beautiful lake.

Fara2017-08-31T00:00:00Z

Alice's home was so lovely, we are already planning our next trip! We felt right at home and so didn't our dog. The beds were comfortable and Alice was kind enough to move a twin bed into the second bedroom so our two small children could sleep together. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt very safe throughout our stay. This was my first experience with an airbnb rental and we were more then satisfied. I highly recommend Alice's home.

Shona2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

The place was perfect! Literally a one minute walk to beautiful lake with private little grassy/beach area to relax on right on the lake. The place was modern especially the kitchen and has all the necessities. Alice was extremely responsive throughout the whole process and I will gladly come back. If you are visiting MA for the great breweries like I was this is a perfect place 20 min drive from the infamous Tree House Brewing company!

Ben2017-08-25T00:00:00Z

House was cute & clean , nice country setting .. Alice is easy to communicate with and responds quickly.

Denise2017-09-07T00:00:00Z

Alice's place is a beautiful little house, very well maintained and with all amenities for a comfortable stay. Impeccably clean! We only spent one night there but you could easily spend more time exploring the quiet and beautiful area. The house is an easy detour from the highway - we used it to break our trip to Maine in half. Alice was quick to respond and even left a wine for us to enjoy upon arrival.

Sandra and Martin2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

Really great place to stay! Very secluded and quiet. Amazing host who is communicable and very nice. So clean and comfortable! Would love to visit again!

david2017-08-03T00:00:00Z

This lovely cottage is peaceful, and quiet, in a friendly lakeside community. We were looking for a cozy, cottage and Alice certainly provided this for our sisters' weekend getaway. I would definitely recommend.

Randi2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

This house is darling, clean and is as advertised. Alice left us wonderful touches, flowers and wine. The house is very close to a private beach on a quiet lake. Easy to find. Quaint, clean and well equipped.

Beautiful lake front cottage on one of the cleanest lakes in Massachusetts. Quiet lake with no jet skis. Intentionally no TV or internet for true relaxation. Enjoy reading, cards, puzzles and games along with hiking,swimming, canoeing, and fishing.

Close to Mass Pike, Rt 84, Old Sturbridge Village, movie theater, and many many restaurants. Hiking and biking trails nearby.

We all felt at home the minute we arrived. There was plenty of room for the 9 of us. Mike is super personal and very friendly. The kids had an amazing time fishing, canoeing and swimming. We would come back again next year if it's available. Beautiful place.

Billy2017-07-24T00:00:00Z

Michael is a great host. He has a beautiful place highly recommend it!

Kaley2016-07-28T00:00:00Z

My husband and I had a very relaxing visit to Sturbridge thanks to Michael and his wonderful house. The lake was so peaceful, and provided almost all of our entertainment for our stay. We even had a great blue heron visit. Watching the birds, the sunrise, and the fish was lovely from the balcony, hammock, bedroom, or dock. I would love to come back again. The house was just great.

Patti2016-07-22T00:00:00Z

This is the perfect summer vacation spot! I came here for a long weekend with a group of 8 (which the house easily accommodates) and we all had an incredible time. First off, Michael and Sheila are the friendliest, most communicative hosts. From the very beginning, they sent us detailed directions to the house, pointed us towards the cheapest gas, groceries, etc. in the neighborhood, and made us feel very welcome. They were easy to reach by phone for any questions, and live nearby so were always able to swing by the lakehouse in just minutes when we needed them to. The house itself is clean, cozy, and feels like home away from home. Amenities include a full kitchen (we cooked every day and night), a grill, a fire pit, and a big deck that is perfect for relaxing on. The view of the lake is so picturesque, and the lake itself is very clean and perfect for both swimming and fishing. This was a wonderful place to unwind. I can't wait to come back!

We loved Michael's lake house! The views were stunning and we enjoyed the deck area very much! We were working in the area so we didn't have much time to enjoy the lake but would of loved to go out on the canoe. Next time!
